This bold and provocative series takes celebrities out of their comfort zones to join police on the frontlines and deal with everyday crimes, criminals and victims. Stars such as model Penny Lancaster and presenter Katie Piper undertake the same training as real-life Special Constables and then hit the streets for two weeks, partnered with serving officers, confronting whatever is thrown at them that day. Its a groundbreaking experiment that sees them face real conflict and challenges, working in everything from traffic divisions to crowd control, and gives them a unique and revelatory insight to the sharp end of policing. Fast-paced, gripping and tense, the show is also packed with emotion and moments of real warmth. Famous and Fighting Crime expertly combines a serious factual examination of modern policing with an immersive celebrity reality programme to provide a truly standout factual entertainment series.
